The focus of this post will be on aluminium cladding - one of the main materials that Lee Wall Cladding & Roofing Pte Ltd uses for its numerous projects.

From our earlier post, you would have read about aluminium composite panels and their classifications.

Aluminium composite panels are formed by two layers of aluminium sheets sandwiching a core. The core is essentially the crux of it all! Polyethylene is 100% flammable and as a core, there is a possibility that heat from an external fire could conduct to the core causing the panel to deform and for the fire to spread further due to ignition of the core.​ (See graphic below)

​​Following the tragic industrial building fire on 4th May 2017 at 30 Toh Guan Road, the Singapore Civil Defence has since stepped up on ensuring the fire safety of buildings with external wall cladding. [Refer to previous post for more information.]

The scientific part would entail its engineering, whilst the artistic part would be to design and install the cladding system in a way that it exudes brilliance and beauty.

The process is meticulous. By understanding the needs of our customers through drawings and/or a site inspection, design work commences. This then progresses to the production/supply and installation of the required materials/systems. The entire process is monitored closely from start to finish, which ensures full form and functionality. The extra attention to detail means the minimisation of dents and gaps, which are bad for aesthetics and also as a protective layer for the building.
